Madison Jazz Jam with Lynette Margulies

press release: On Sunday, June 16, Madison Jazz Jam will feature Madison based vocalist Lynette Margulies for our participation in the Isthmus Jazz Festival. ( Adekola Adedapo will be unable to appear as previously scheduled). Our format will be somewhat different on that date with  a performance from Lynette leading off for the first hour, and two open jam sessions of about an hour each to follow. The house band will be Ken Hoffman, trumpet; Johannes Wallmann, keyboard; John Schaffer, bass; and Joey B. Banks, percussion. Here's a little more about Lynette:

"Margulies has performed around the world joined by some of America’s finest musicians-in Vienna, Austria with Ben Sidran, Howard Levy and Steve Khan; at Lincoln Center with Josh Redman, Danny Gottlieb and Rufus Reid; at the University of Wisconsin Theater with Phil Woods, Phil Upchurch and Richard Davis; in Chicago with Eddie Daniels, Mike Mainieri and Gil Goldstein. The power and commitment in her voice is undeniable, and her natural delight in singing music is contagious.

Lynette is not just a “jazz singer”. She incorporates the feels of soul, rhythm & blues, gospel, folk and jazz in her vocalizations. Her singing reflects an authenticity of genuine honesty and heart. Her skills reflect impeccable timing with a sense of urgency in sharing a story."

Are you a vocalist? Love to sing the standards?

Please join us for this and future Jams. We'd love to hear from more singers at MJJ, both at this Jam and in the future.
